Application filed November To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, CARL \Vinnn, a subject of the German El'nperor, and a resident of Sheiiield, England, have invented new and useful llllPIOVClilClltS in and Relating to Vertical-Flue Coke-Ovens, of which the following is a specification.

These improvements relate to a horizontal coking oven or battery of ovens of that type which is furnished with vertical heating lines, alternating with coking hambers, and their object'is to enable the supply of air and gasto the bottom of each :fiue or to each group of fines to be separately regulated at or from a position which is situated at some distance from the point ofcombustion and is therefore not exposed to any great heat, and without necessitating the cooling down of the ovens to permit such regulation. It has up to now, been custom" ary to eitect the regulation of the air and gas inlets to such ovens by means of dampers or nozzles arranged within or closely adjacent to the lines or point of combust-ion, and these dampers have been'moved by rods inserted through openings at' either the top, bottom or sides of the vertical heating fines or fromthe ends of the ovens, but such regulation has been extremely inconvenient n practice.

In carrying my improvements into efiect the gas and air passages or channels to the vertical fines run to the tines from the fi fppt which are preferably horizontal or approximately horizontal, open into and through the back of a common chamber which is supplied with gas and is situated at the ends of the ovens, and the outer end or inlets of the air channels which are similarly disposed, open into and through the back of a common chamber which is supplied with air for combustionand is situated at the end of the ovens. ,(lhese chambers are easily accessible. The front wall of each chamber is provided with a closable opening or with a number of closable openings opposite to the inlets of the air and gas channels and through such opening or openings various sized dampers, nozzles, or equivalents may be placed within the horizontally disposed inlets or be removed therefrom as desired. Other devices than dampers or nozzles may be employed to regulate the sizes of the inlets.

Instead of each vertical flue having a sep- 1 such fines may have a common air inlet and a common gas inlet or independent air inlets and a common gas inlet, or a common air inlet and independent gas inlets, such inlets beingled to the front end or the back end of the battery in the same manner as those previously described and being there similarly regulatable'. The air inlets may be arranged all at one end of the ovens and the gas inlets at the other, or air and gas inlets or groups of such inlets may alternate with each other on the same end of the oven.

My improved devices are illustrated in one arrangement in the'accompanymg drawings to which reference is hereinafter made. as
